Want a reciepe for cornbread stuffing?
I've only had it once and feel in love with it! But, I do not have a recipe for it. I want to make it homemade also!

OMG it's delicious isn't it!!! Here's a great recipe, I hope you like it
Mason-Dixon Corn Bread Dressing 101
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
8 ounces smoked ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 medium celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
10 cups coarsely crumbled Southern corn bread, dried overnight or in the oven
1 cup toasted and coarsely chopped pecans
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (see recipe above)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups homemade turkey stock or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth as needed
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ham and celery and cook until the celery softens, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Scrape the ham, vegetables, and butter into large bowl. Stir in the cornbread, pecans, eggs, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in enough of the stock to moisten the stuffing, about 2 cups. Use to stuff the bird, or place in a buttered baking dish, drizzle with an additional 1/2 cup stock, cover and bake as a side dish.
Makes 10 cups.
Variations:
Dried Cranberry and Walnut Dressing: Substitute 1 cup toasted and chopped walnuts for the pecans. Soak 1 cup (4 ounces) dried cranberries in hot water until plump, about 20 minutes; drain. Stir into cornbread dressing.
Sausage Gumbo Dressing: Substitute 1 pound andouille sausage, or pork kielbasa, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, for the ham. Add 1 medium red bell pepper, cored seeded, and chopped, to the pan with the sausage and celery. Add 2 garlic cloves, minced, to the mixture with the scallions. Substitute Cajun seasoning for the poultry seasoning. If desired stir in one 9-ounce box chopped frozen okra, thawed, into the dressing
